General	EKON The project consists of the engineering, procurement and construction/installation works to be carried out for turnkey construction of a sulfuric acid production plant. The plant will be established at Etimaden İşletmeleri Genel Müdürlüğü Emet Bor İşletmeleri (Emet-Kütahya) It has a capacity of 350,000 ton/year on sulfur basis (based on an operation of 330 days of a year and 24 hours of a day, 100% H2SO4) The project concerns a PLANT for the production of sulfuric acid, co-producing steam and electric energy (15 MW), starting from solid sulfur, and based on dry – double conversion double absorption (DCDA) process, provided with Heat Recovery System. Plant includes auxiliary units such as demineralized water plant, compressed air system, auxiliary boiler, cooling water system, handling and storage systems.

News	April 23, 2021 - Steam turbine manufacturer Doosan Škoda Power will supply a 15MW steam turbine including accessories for a planned chemical plant in Emet, Turkey. Thus, the Pilsen-based company will follow on the supply of a turbine and a generator for Europe’s largest waste incinerator plant built in Istanbul. The Etimaden EMET Sulfuric Acid Production Plant is being built in Emet in Kütahya Province, Turkey. The factory will be in continuous operation for 330 days a year and the steam turbine will generate electricity from residual heat for both the plant’s own operation and the surrounding area. Doosan Škoda Power will supply all accessories along with the turbine itself and the company’s engineers will also supervise assembly of the unit at the construction site. “EMET Sulphuric Acid Production facility will make a significant contribution to Turkey’s boron treatment and boron products process which have a wide range of usage areas including but not limited to agriculture, cleaning, metallurgy, health and textile. Alongside the production of sulphuric acid, the plant will also supply electricity to the EMET Boron Works by the help of Steam Turbine and Generator which are supplied by Doosan Skoda. In this regard, as EKON team we are very pleased to cooperate with Doosan Skoda and we would like to sustain this cooperation as we have already done for another ETI Maden project in Bandırma, Turkey”, said Yaman COŞKUN, representative of EKON. “The project entails a standard steam turbine with accessories but with an atypical delivery deadline. We have 12 months from the date of signing the contract to supply the unit to the construction site,” said project manager Lucie Franková. The design and engineering work and material procurement are currently underway. The first delivery, which included foundation bolts and other built-in components, was sent to Turkey at the end of February. Doosan Škoda Power has already received a rotor forging from its supplier, which is scheduled to reach the construction site along with other components by September at the latest. “EMET Sulphuric Acid Production facility will make a significant contribution to Turkey’s boron treatment and boron products process which have a wide range of usage areas including but not limited to agriculture, cleaning, metallurgy, health and textile.

January 25, 2021 - Skoda Power, based in Pilsen in the Czech Republic, turned to Jeumont Electric to supply an alternator for Turkey’s ETI Maden, the world’s leading supplier of boron used in agricultural fertilizers. The new alternator will be coupled to a steam turbine via a steam boiler and will provide electricity primarily for a 350,000-ton-per-year sulfuric acid production plant near Emet in Turkey’s Kütahya Province. The new equipment will be built near the existing boric acid plant and will have the necessary auxiliary equipment, including a distilled water treatment plant, waste treatment facilities, a natural gas system, and emergency sprinklers. The steam generated by the acid process will be used to produce electricity. This new facility will be one of Turkey’s largest sulfuric acid plants. Desmet Ballestra S.p.A is pleased to announce the award of the contract for the supply of MECS license, process design and critical detailed engineering and key equipment from Ekon Industry Construction & Trade Inc. for Eti Maden Sulfuric Acid Plant, to be installed in Emet (Turkey).Ekon is a private and dynamic EPC contractor with more than 35 years of experience in the execution of industrial projects.Eti Maden is a Turkish public company, world leader in the production of boron.The Sulfuric Acid Plant will have a capacity of 1000 TPD as 100% H2SO4 and will be equipped with DuPont MECS enhanced heat recovery system (HRS™), which allows to maximize steam and energy production in an environmental friendly way.The EPC project was awarded to Ekon on a public tender basis, including a wide list of qualified bidders.DBI was selected by Ekon thanks to a combination of high efficiency technology, proven track record, competitive commercial terms and efficient and reliable execution scheme proposed.Desmet Ballestra is delighted for the award of the Eti Maden SAP unit from Ekon, being the second sulfuric acid project with HRS™ that our company will deliver in Turkey after the one started up for Toros Tarim in Samsun in 2016.
